Abstract

A method of determining triplet quantum yields using a dye laser is described. Triplet yields were measured for eosin, fluorescein, acridine orange, proflavine, and pentacene in fluid solutions. The results reveal the occurrence of an efficient internal conversion process for the three latter compounds.

Highly sensitive turn-on fluorescence detection of thrombomodulin based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer
2017, Spectrochimica Acta - Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy
As an integral glycoprotein on the surface of endothelial cells, thrombomodulin (TM) has very high affinity for thrombin. TM has been regarded to be a marker of endothelial damage since it can be released during endothelial cell injury. In this work, a highly sensitive fluorescence method for the quantitative detection of TM was developed. TM antibody (Ab) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were bound on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to construct BSA-AuNPs-Ab nanocomposites and they were characterized by transmission electron microscope and UV–vis spectrophotometry. The fluorescence of acridine orange (AO) was quenched by the prepared gold nanocomposites based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). In the presence of TM, the fluorescence was turned on due to the effective separation of AO from the surface of gold nanocomposites. Under optimum conditions, the enhanced fluorescence intensity displayed a linear relationship with the logarithm of the TM concentration from 0.1 pg mL^− 1 to 5 ng mL^− 1 with a low detection limit of 12 fg mL^− 1. The release of soluble thrombomodulin (sTM) by the injured HUVEC-C cells in the presence of H₂O₂ was investigated using the proposed method. The released sTM content in the growth medium was found to be increased with the enhancement of contact time of the cells with H₂O₂.
“Getting the best sensitivity from on-capillary fluorescence detection in capillary electrophoresis” – A tutorial
2016, Analytica Chimica Acta
Capillary electrophoresis with Laser-Induced Fluorescence (CE-LIF) detection is being applied to new analytical problems which challenge both the power of CE separation and the sensitivity of LIF detection. On-capillary LIF detection is much more practical than post-capillary detection in a sheath-flow cell. Therefore, commercial CE instruments utilize solely on-capillary CE-LIF detection with a Limit of Detection (LOD) in the nM range, while there are multiple applications of CE-LIF that require pM or lower LODs. This tutorial analyzes all aspects of on-capillary LIF detection in CE in an attempt to identify means for improving LOD of CE-LIF with on-capillary detection. We consider principles of signal enhancement and noise reduction, as well as relevant areas of fluorophore photochemistry and fluorescent microscopy.

Photoluminescence properties of fluorone dyes in bio-related films at low temperatures
2011, Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A: Chemistry
The fluorescence and phosphorescence behavior of the fluorone dyes disodium fluorescein (uranine), 4,5-dibromofluorescein, eosin Y, erythrosine B, and rose bengal in biofilms of chitosan, gelatin, and starch was studied in the temperature range from 293 K to 12 K. Luminescence quantum yields, fluorescence quantum yields, and triplet quantum yields were determined. The fluorescence quantum yield generally increased with lowering the temperature at a high level of absolute quantum yield, while the phosphorescence quantum yield increased with decreasing temperature at a low level of absolute quantum yield. The strongest phosphorescence was found for erythrosine B in starch where the phosphorescence quantum yield increased from 6% at 293 K to 25% at 12 K. The temperature dependent luminescence behavior is discussed considering radiative and non-radiative transitions in a spectroscopic-state potential energy surface scheme.
Phosphorescence and delayed fluorescence properties of fluorone dyes in bio-related films
2010, Chemical Physics
The phosphorescence and delayed fluorescence behaviour of the fluorone dyes disodium fluorescein (FL, uranine), 4,5-dibromofluorescein (DBF), eosin Y (EO), erythrosine B (ER), and rose bengal (RB) in bio-films of gelatine, starch, and chitosan at room temperature is studied. Phosphorescence and delayed fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes were measured. The singlet–triplet dynamics is described and applied to the fluorone dyes for parameter extraction. For uranine films at room temperature no phosphorescence could be resolved. The efficiency of singlet–triplet intersystem crossing increased in the order ϕ_ISC(DBF) < ϕ_ISC(EO) < ϕ_ISC(ER) < ϕ_ISC(RB) due to the heavy atom effect on spin–orbit coupling. The phosphorescence quantum yields increased in the order ϕ_P(DBF) < ϕ_P(EO) < ϕ_P(RB) < ϕ_P(ER). The phosphorescence lifetimes followed the order τ_P(DBF) > τ_P(EO) > τ_P(ER) > τ_P(RB).
Dual fluorescence and laser emissions from fluorescein-Na and eosin-B
2006, Journal of Luminescence
Dual laser emissions were observed from fluorescein-Na and eosin-B in ethanolic solutions individually in the concentration range from 10⁻² to 10⁻³ mol dm⁻³ under N₂ laser excitation. The first compound was found to lase at two distinct regions with wavelength maxima around 540, 550 nm, while the second one around 558, 574 nm. Steady-state absorption, fluorescence excitation, fluorescence polarization, fluorescence emission and decays of the dyes in various solvents under varying conditions of excitation and detection systems were carried out to identify the nature of the emitting species responsible for laser emissions in two distinct regions. Both the dyes exhibited concentration and excitation wavelength dependence of fluorescence and the effects were found to be more pronounced in binary solution. The fluorescence decays of dyes were monoexponential in ethanol, while in some other solvents used, the decays showed biexponential behavior. The absorption and excitation studies using thin layers of solutions revealed the formation of dimers with the dye concentration around 1×10⁻³ mol dm⁻³. Fluorescence polarization and decay studies confirmed the presence of dimers. The two laser bands observed in the shorter and longer wavelengths were respectively ascribed to monomeric and dimeric species.
